4843 - أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْأَشْعَثِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقِ بْنِ أَوْسٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «فِي الْأَصَابِعِ عَشْرٌ عَشْرٌ»

Commentary

Fingers are, different from each other. From the dimension of utility, in a way, the distinction which the thumb has, the little finger does not have! But it is significant to realize that all of them strengthen each other. While some fingers are the cause of beautification, the others have specific utility and benefits. On certain occasions, the little finger only does the work; the thumb finds itself utterly helpless there. So to speak, it is very difficult for us to ascertain with certitude the right utilities or benefits of each finger. Therefore, Allâh the All-Knowing, the All-Aware, and the wise and aware Messenger of Allâh ﷺ decreed all the fingers of hands equal, whether it is the pinkie or the thumb. And Allâh and His Messenger know best!
